Ok, here is another idea that can’t miss. It costs the tracks nothing, it makes the young fans happy and gets them involved in racing, and the drivers wives and girlfriends will love it too. Sound impossible? Consider this: its just an interesting twist on the old and tired autograph session.
Any driver who has done a little racing will have accumulated more trophies than he/she will ever need. I know I have 3 bins of them clogging up the attic.
Advertise “Trophy Night” at the track, and have the drivers bring in their stash of old trophies. Some guys will show up with 50, some won’t bring any, so split them up and everyone will have some. Then have them take the trophies out to the track for the autograph session. It could be like trick or treat: each kid goes to the car of their choice and gets one. Make a limit two or three to each young fan.
Some drivers will run out, so then the kids can go to their next favorite. Keep the rules few and very simple, they will all end up with an armful of dust collectors, and our houses will be a little less cluttered.
